Why is it that other people keep going, and I just want to give up? It’s easier to sit on the couch, rather than getting up and going on a date. Sometimes, it feels like you’re getting nowhere. I never realised that I was resilient. I felt weak and like my life was going round in circles. When things got tough, I felt … Read More
Most people have felt the pressure at one time or another, to conform to what others think, or to do better, be better. It might be an external pressure, or internal pressure, either way it can make the little things in life harder to do. Life can be difficult enough as it is.

The way the relationship ended, or not approaching someone you are interested in, regretting saying something to a friend or partner, missed opportunities in your career, not looking after your health better. Regret is when we have “what if’s” when we believe what we look back on in certain moments and situations as having … Read More
My favorite question to ask people, when I first meet them is “What do you like to do for fun?”.

Nowadays, the people I meet cannot believe that I used to struggle in social situations. I would avoid parties and group functions. If there was a likelihood of there being more … Read More
It’s that feeling that things are not quite right, like more things go wrong than not. It’s not a deep sadness, just a ‘down’ feeling. Dissatisfied with life and the cards you’ve been dealt, underwhelmed by your career, health or relationship. A feeling like you’re just going through the motions of getting up, going to work, going home and sleeping, then doing it … Read More
Life is busy. There’s so much to do. Go to work, pay the bills, catch up with family and friends, plan ahead, not to mention all the apps on our phones with notifications every few minutes letting us know what someone posted on Facebook. We have an event coming up or have to make sure you rsvp to your friends birthday, emails, SMS, … Read More
Do you find that you stay at home rather than going out? Do you say to yourself you don’t like people, but maybe the truth is that you’re not sure what to say when you meet someone new, or how to meet new people? Do you find that you feel shy at times and it can affect other areas of your life, like … Read More
